More quotes by Richard M. Nixon
Idealism without realism is impotent. Realism without idealism is immoral.
Richard M. Nixon
You have to face the fact that the whole problem is really the blacks. The key is to devise a system that recognizes this all while not appearing to.
Richard M. Nixon
President Johnson and I have a lot in common. We were both born in small towns and we're both fortunate in the fact that we think we married above ourselves.
Richard M. Nixon
I have a theory, too, that the best and only answer to a smear or to an honest misunderstanding of the facts is to tell the truth
Richard M. Nixon
I really believe life is simple. It's all the other people that make things complicated.
Richard M. Nixon
So you are lean and mean and resourceful and you continue to walk on the edge of the precipice because over the years you have become fascinated by how close you can walk without losing your balance.
Richard M. Nixon
Communism starts with the proposition that there are no universal truths or general truths of human nature.
Richard M. Nixon
My own view is that taping of conversations for historical purposes was a bad decision on the part of all the presidents. I don't think Kennedy should have done it. I don't think Johnson should have done it, and I don't think we should have done it.
Richard M. Nixon
The successful leader does not talk down to people. He lifts them up.
Richard M. Nixon
Well, I screwed it up real good, didn't I?
Richard M. Nixon
Only if you have been in the deepest valley, can you ever know how magnificent it is to be on the highest mountain.
Richard M. Nixon
What starts the process, really, are laughs and slights and snubs when you are a kid. If your anger is deep enough and strong enough, you learn that you can change those attitudes by excellence, personal gut performance.
Richard M. Nixon
The student who invades an administration building, roughs up a dean, rifles the files and issues 'non-negotiable demands' may have some of his demands met by a permissive university administration. But the greater his 'victory' the more he will have undermined the security of his own rights.
Richard M. Nixon
What are our schools for if not indoctrination against Communism?
Richard M. Nixon
Honesty may not be the best policy, but it is worth trying once in a while.
Richard M. Nixon
People are persuaded by reason, but moved by emotion [the leader] must both persuade them and move them.
Richard M. Nixon
The greatness comes not when things go always good for you. But the greatness comes when you're really tested, when you take some knocks, some disappointments, when sadness comes. Because only if you've been in the deepest valley can you ever know how magnificent it is to be on the highest mountain.
Richard M. Nixon
Never say no when a client asks for something, even if it is the moon. You can always try, and anyhow there is plenty of time afterwards to explain that it was not possible.
Richard M. Nixon
Let us begin by committing ourselves to the truth to see it like it is, and tell it like it is, to find the truth, to speak the truth, and to live the truth.
Richard M. Nixon
Listen, I don't know anything about polygraphs and I don't know how accurate they are, but I know they'll scare the hell out of people.
Richard M. Nixon
